Baker just cant stick with anything, can he?

Rolen after Votto but not before Bruce! :bang:

[RBA]

Game is on KTTV Fox Los Angeles for those in the LA DMA and also for those who get LA FOX as a distant network.

[757690]

Kershaw is killer on lefties.

I know Votto and Bruce crush most lefites, but Kershaw is not most lefties.

[hebroncougar]

Kershaw is killer on lefties.

I know Votto and Bruce crush most lefites, but Kershaw is not most lefties.

Neither are Votto and Bruce. I'd play to my strengths, but that's me.

With my luck it will be the cubs.

[JaxRed]

I'm in Jax and getting Cubs

[_Sir_Charles_]

I'm in Jax and getting Cubs

Same here in Houston.

[RedsManRick]

Grrrrrrr. Cubs and Cards. I live in freaking Chicago. I can ALWAYS see the Cubs. But you have to black out the Reds. I HATE you Fox and MLB! Screwing your fans does not make your product better.

[Ron Madden]

I'd love to see Cueto out pitch Kershaw, wish I was there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this game is underway!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Carroll with a single up the middle.

[Reds Fanatic]

Carroll singles to center.

[JaxRed]

Cubbies rallying already 1st and 3rd no one out.... (hate rooting for Cubbies)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cards versus Cubs. I want to root AGAINST the Cards. I can't root FOR the Cubs. One of the great morale dilemmas.

[kaldaniels]

Grrrrrrr. Cubs and Cards. I live in freaking Chicago. I can ALWAYS see the Cubs. But you have to black out the Reds. I HATE you Fox and MLB! Screwing your fans does not make your product better.

It is sad that with today's technology, a fan anywhere in the US doesn't have access to watch every one of his or her favorite teams' games on TV.

[mbgrayson]

I have the Dodgers- Reds game on Fox (in Montana) till the Giants rain delay is over....

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cubbies rallying already 1st and 3rd no one out.... (hate rooting for Cubbies)

We are on the same wavelength Jax. :O)

[_Sir_Charles_]

K

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ethier grounds to Votto, Joey takes the force at 2nd. 2 down.

[Cedric]

That was a great play by Votto.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice! Ethier picked off first! Good move by Cueto.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice job on the pick off by Cueto.

[_Sir_Charles_]

That was a great play by Votto.

Joey's gotten quite adept at that play. His footwork is quite good over there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Stubbs pops out to Miles. 1 down.

[reds44]

I really hate when we're on FOX. I never get to watch these games.

[Ron Madden]

Looks like a nice sized crowd at GABP.

[Reds Fanatic]

Tempature on the field almost 100 today. Thom said it was the hottest it has been on this date in Cincinnati since 1925.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Brandon K's swinging. 2 down.

[JaxRed]

Typical Cubs failed to score on 1st and 3rd no one out....:laugh:

[_Sir_Charles_]

Votto K's swinging too. 1-2-3 for Kershaw.

[Reds Fanatic]

That was a 10 pitch inning for Kershaw

[_Sir_Charles_]

Kemp leads off the 2nd with a single to left.

[GoReds33]

I'm really getting tired of the announcing. I don't care how good Kershaw is, the Dodgers are batting right now for heaven's sake.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Blake grounds out to Janish. Kemp to 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KK

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wild pitch...Kemp to 3rd.

Sands flies out to Bruce to end the inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

3rd K of the day for Kershaw. 2 outs.

[757690]

With the way Kershaw is throwing, I think the batting order is the least of the Reds problems today.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes strikes out looking. 4 Ks for Kershaw. 0-0 after 2.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Sorry. Phone call. Rolen flied out to right, Bruce & Gomes both K'd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Navarro with a cheap hit. Little dribbler down the 3rd base line.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Kershaw sac bunt. Cueto to first.

[Ron Madden]

Kershaw looks like he could No-Hit an All-Star Team with the stuff he has today. ;)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Carroll shoots one up the middle. Diving stop by Janish but he can't make a play anywhere. 1st & 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Great stop by Janish to save a run. 1st and 3rd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Miles sac fly to Bruce. 1-0 Dodgers.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice stop by Votto. 1-0 LA after 2 1/2.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 quick outs as Ramon fouls out to the catcher and Janish grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kemp with a diving catch. 1-0 Dodgers after 3.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kershaw is rollling. He is through 3 on only 34 pitches

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff walk to Kemp

[_Sir_Charles_]

Thanks RF. Too many distractions here.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dodgers have had the leadoff runner on in all 4 innings today

[_Sir_Charles_]

YESSIRREE! 5-4-3

[Reds Fanatic]

5-4-3 DP.

[Reds Fanatic]

Loney grounds out to 1st. 1-0 Dodgers mid 4th.

[GOYA]

Cueto through 4 on 51 pitches.

[Ron Madden]

It's funny Thom has talked about almost every pitcher in the league today except Johnny Cueto.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs strikes out looking. 5 Ks for Kershaw.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips strikes out swinging. 6 Ks for Kershaw.

[Reds Fanatic]

[Reds Fanatic]

Sands grounds out to short. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Navarro flies out to right. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kershaw grounds out to 3rd. 1-0 Dodgers mid 5th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

How is this guy not undefeated? He's just flat out NASTY.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen strikes out swinging. 7 Ks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out looking. 8 Ks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes strikes out swinging. 9 Ks. 1-0 Dodgers after 5.

[VR]

Carlos Pena with a 2 run jack to tie it up for the Cubs.

[CrackerJack]

Wow 9 K's as he strikes out the side in the 5th...Reds' offense on life support so far in this series. They need help.

[Tornon]

Wow 9 K's as he strikes out the side in the 5th...Reds' offense on life support so far in this series. They need help.

I think that help will come by these Dodger pitchers leaving town

[Reds Fanatic]

Through 5 both Cueto and Kershaw are at 65 pitches

[Reds Fanatic]

Carroll grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Miles grounds out to 2nd as Phillips fields that bare handed.

[VR]

Cueto getting it done today. A 2-1 victory for him seems perfect today.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ethier grounds out to 2nd. 1-0 Dodgers mid 6th. 8 pitch inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hernandez leads off with a single to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish flies out to center on the first pitch.

[VR]

Bad Kyle comes out in the 6th for the Cards.....they now trail 3-2 with a couple runners still on.

[mth123]

Tie game. Phillips hits lefties.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big hit. Phillips singles to right. 1-1. 1st and 3rd.

[LvJ]

wtg brandon!

[marcshoe]

but...but...Karros said it wouldn't be fair if Kershaw lost!

[mth123]

Joey, MVP.

[Reds Fanatic]

Boom. Votto homers to right. 4-1 Reds!

[kbrake]

I'm pumped.

[757690]

but...but...Karros said it wouldn't be fair if Kershaw lost!

Now I think it would be fair for him to lose. ;)

[marcshoe]

That'll do.Good to see this happen against a top-flight pitcher.

[VR]

2-1 win for Cueto sounded good.

4-1 sounds all the sweeter.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to right. 4-1 Reds after 6.

[Brutus]

Only 5 baserunners today, but Reds have made the most of them now lol

[LvJ]

Thought Joey couldn't hit Kershaw?

Boom.

[Big Klu]

[redhawkfish]

Reminds me of Big Red Machine games against Expo pitcher Steve rogers in the 70's.


Only 5 baserunners today, but Reds have made the most of them now lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Kemp homers to right. 4-2 Reds.

[Big Klu]

Reminds me of Big Red Machine games against Expo pitcher Steve rogers in the 70's.

He was a tough pitcher. And an even tougher superhero!

[Reds Fanatic]

Blake strikes out swinging. 3 Ks for Cueto.

[Reds Fanatic]

Loney lines out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sands grounds out to short. 4-2 Reds mid 7th.

[mth123]

Cueto at 88 pitches. Leave him in.

[reds44]

For the love of God Dusty put Votto-Bruce 3-4 in permanent marker and leave it there. I don't care who is pitching. They are two of the best players in baseball.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce lines a single to center.

[reds44]

Bruce and Votto with 3 of the Reds 5 hits against Kershaw.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes flies out to center. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cubs and Cards now tied 4-4 in the 6th.

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Hernandez. 1st and 2nd.

[mth123]

Brantley acting like the walk to Ramon is Kershaw slipping. With 1 out and Janish and the pitcher coming up, why would Ramon get anything over the plate?

[757690]

Table is set for Janish ;)

[mth123]

Nevermind.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish singles to right. Bruce is thrown out at the plate. I don't get what the 3rd base coach is doing there. That was not even close.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dang. Nice throw by Ethier. Nailed at the dish. Nice poke by Janish too.

[757690]

Nevermind.

Almost :(

[reds44]

Janish singles to right. Bruce is thrown out at the plate. I don't get what the 3rd base coach is doing there. That was not even close.
Only thing I can think is Cueto is on deck.

[Brutus]

Only thing I can think is Cueto is on deck.

Perhaps they were just overcome with excitement that Janish got a hit and got caught up in the moment lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Mike MacDougal is in to pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey hitting for Cueto

[reds44]

Heisey hitting for Cueto
Well then, that makes Berry look even dumber.

[757690]

Janish singles to right. Bruce is thrown out at the plate. I don't get what the 3rd base coach is doing there. That was not even close.

The general rule is that if it looks close, send him. Throwing a guy out at the plate requires a lot of things to go right.

Now, I have no idea if it was close when Bruce was rounding third.

[reds44]

Heisey!

[Reds Fanatic]

Broken bat bloop single to center. 6-2 Reds!

[757690]

Well then, that makes Berry look even dumber.

Cuero might have stayed in if Bruce scores.

[kbrake]

Well then, that makes Berry look even dumber.

Yeah seems like a lack of communication between Dusty and Berry. If you're going to PH for Cueto there is no point in sending Bruce.

[_Sir_Charles_]

http://www.odomcorp.com/ecom_img/original-423-1495-hi-c.jpg

[Big Klu]

Heisey's bat dies a hero.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Stubby! Double to the wall. 7-2 Redlegs!

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs doubles to left center. 7-2 Reds!

[reds44]

I love watching games on gameday. All I saw was In play, (runs) so I posted Heisey!

[reds44]

It's a route!

[757690]

Karros really is not high on his former team. He just said he's not sure all of their players belong in the majors.

[reds44]

Heisey now hitting .283 with a .798 OPS.

[LvJ]

Rad showing today

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to 2nd. 7-2 Reds after 7.

[reds44]

Votto is hitting .343. My God.

[marcshoe]

Karros really is not high on his former team. He just said he's not sure all of their players belong in the majors.

A statement that immediately made me flash back to the last decade. And things are about to get worse for the boys in blue.

[Brutus]

Given the way Kershaw pitched the first five innings, I would have never dreamed the Reds would end up with 7 runs

[Reds Fanatic]

Given the way Kershaw pitched the first five innings, I would have never dreamed the Reds would end up with 7 runs

Yes and Kershaw ended up giving 6 earned runs

[Reds Fanatic]

Masset in to pitch. Heisey stays in to play left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another good start for Cueto: 7IP, 5H, 2ER, 1BB, 3K.

[Reds Fanatic]

Navarro strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gwynn pinch hitting singles to right.

[Big Klu]

It's a route!

http://lasvegasharley.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/route-66-sign-item-4n1-01.jpg

[Reds Fanatic]

Carroll singles to center. 1st and 3rd.

[mth123]

Gwynn, Carrol and Miles with hits. Sheesh.

[Reds Fanatic]

Miles singles to center. 7-3 Reds. 1st and 3rd.

[reds44]

Gwynn, Carrol and Miles with hits. Sheesh.
Murder's row.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bray in to pitch

[_Sir_Charles_]

[spelling patrol]

Rout fellas. Not Route.

[/spelling patrol]

[reds44]

I had a feeling that wasn't right lol

[mth123]

[spelling patrol]

Rout fellas. Not Route.

[/spelling patrol]

With Ethier and Kemp comimg up after 3 versions of Paul Janish got hits in a row, its not yet no matter how its spelled.

[mth123]

Now Kemp comes up as the tying run.

[reds44]

This isnt good

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow. Ethier walks. Kemp up with the bases loaded. Another pitching change.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ondrusek in to pitch

[WVRedsFan]

God, Bray is so frustrating. Al has to do is get one batter out and he can't throw a strike.
This may not turn out well.

[mth123]

Tie game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Unreal. Grand slam. 7-7.

[kbrake]

Sickening.

[redhawkfish]

Crap!

[reds44]

Wow.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Well, it's obviously not a ROUT. Maybe it was a ROUTE...hopefully not a route to an L. *sigh*

[LvJ]

There it is

[mth123]

I wonder if Bruce doesn't get thrown out, if Cueto stays in and avoids this mess. I don't like taking a starter who is going well out of the gane when he is under 100 pitches.

[_Sir_Charles_]

As good as the bullpen looked yesterday, it looks JUST as bad today. *grumble, grumble*

[Reds Fanatic]

Blake strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

[kbrake]

One of Masset, Bray, and Ondrusek have to do better than that. I understand every guy that plays the game will have bad days but 1 of the 3 have to do something.

[Reds Fanatic]

Loney singles to right.

[WVRedsFan]

Bullpen=Epic Fail.

Masset is great sometimes and has nothing others. Today was the latter. And Bray? What was up with him? This staff has been a major disappointment so far.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sands flies out to right. 7-7 mid 8th.

[reds44]

Bray's ERA is 1.75.

[edabbs44]

Sometimes shiznit happens. The key is to rebound and take it anyway.

[757690]

I wonder if Bruce doesn't get thrown out, if Cueto stays in and avoids this mess. I don't like taking a starter who is going well out of the gane when he is under 100 pitches.

If you don't think your bullpen can hold a two run lead over two innings then you might as well pack it in for the season.

[kaldaniels]

Sometimes shiznit happens. The key is to rebound and take it anyway.

This.

[Reds Fanatic]

Scott Elbert in to pitch. Gwynn stays in to play left.

[mth123]

OK. Middle of the order up. Time for more runs.

[WVRedsFan]

Sometimes shiznit happens. The key is to rebound and take it anyway.

Fer sure. Trouble is, none of that 8th inning was unnecessary. If Bray throws strikes after Masset's performance, all is well. Ah, but that's baseball.

[kbrake]

Sometimes shiznit happens. The key is to rebound and take it anyway.

Absolutely. It just would be nice to see this staff string a couple of games together with some low scores given up.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out swinging.

[reds44]

Fer sure. Trouble is, none of that 8th inning was unnecessary. If Bray throws strikes after Masset's performance, all is well. Ah, but that's baseball.
You're going to blame Bray when one guy gave up 3 hits to the worst hitters in baseball and the other guy gave up a grand slam?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa?

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to center.

[WVRedsFan]

You're going to blame Bray when one guy gave up 3 hits to the worst hitters in baseball and the other guy gave up a grand slam?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Just stating the obvious. Man it doesn't get much to rile you up, does it. I get it...everything is beautiful in it's own way.

[mth123]

If you don't think your bullpen can hold a two run lead over two innings then you might as well pack it in for the season.

True, but I'd still rather have my starter who is cruising in there over pitchers who aren't good enough to be starters in the first place. If he was getting hit or at 110 pitches it would be different.

[757690]

Fer sure. Trouble is, none of that 8th inning was unnecessary. If Bray throws strikes after Masset's performance, all is well. Ah, but that's baseball.

Even if he gets Either out, Ondrusek comes in to get Kemp. It would only be 7-6, but Bray walking Either was not the worse thing that happened that inning by a long shot.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 2nd. 7-7 after 8.

[reds44]

Just stating the obvious. Man it doesn't get much to rile you up, does it. I get it...everything is beautiful in it's own way.
Yeah because that's my attitude when it comes to the Reds lol.

But you're pointing the finger at the wrong guy for that inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Arredondo in to pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

Navarro flies out to left.

[WVRedsFan]

Even if he gets Either out, Ondrusek comes in to get Kemp. It would only be 7-6, but Bray walking Either was not the worse thing that happened that inning by a long shot.
Sure. What I tried to say was that Bray failed at his job which was to get one out and couldn't even throw strikes. And the run he allowed to reach tied the game. That's all.

[reds44]

Sure. What I tried to say was that Bray failed at his job which was to get one out and couldn't even throw strikes. And the run he allowed to reach tied the game. That's all.
He walked a guy on a 3-2 pitch, it happens.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gwynn grounds out to 1st. 2 outs.

[WVRedsFan]

He walked a guy on a 3-2 pitch, it happens.

At the worst time. He didn't do his job.

[reds44]

At the worst time. He didn't do his job.
Tough job of being a loogy.

He wouldn't have ever been in if Masset didn't give up 3 hits to 3 of the worst hitters in baseball.

[Reds Fanatic]

Carroll walks.

[reds44]

I need to stop saying that, Jamey Carroll is not on of the worst hitters in baseball. The other two are though.

[SirFelixCat]

Carroll walks.



Per gameday, the first 5 pitches were strikes, yet it was full count.


Awesome.

[reds44]

The revenge of Aaron Miles!

[Reds Fanatic]

Miles lays down a bunt single that dies right on the line. 1st and 2nd.

[reds44]

Get a run and lets all go home. It's hot.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ethier strikes out swinging. 7-7 mid 9th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pinch hitter, Hernandez and Janish due up.

[HokieRed]

Time to move Arredondo up in the bullpen hierarchy.

[Tony Cloninger]

The bullpen is now almost shot right? Another Extra Innings bonanza that this team does not need.

It's almost like Dusty would have been better off bringing in the mop up guys like Jose or Horst then to bring in Nick "The Head Case".

[WVRedsFan]

Pinch hitter, Hernandez and Janish due up.

Extras here we come again.

[LvJ]

Extras here we come again.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cairo pinch hitting. Pitching change.

[mth123]

Predicting Janish with a walk-off. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Matt Guerrier in to pitch

[kbrake]

The bullpen is now almost shot right? Another Extra Innings bonanza that this team does not need.

Masset has been pretty good after April. Not sure he is a "head case"

[mth123]

I wouldn't call Masset a head case, but I do think these guys are conditioned to being in close games and wonder if the 5 run lead helped him to come out flat. Once the Reds got those runs, I'd have gotten Fisher up.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cairo flies out to right.

[Tony Cloninger]

Masset has been pretty good after April. Not sure he is a "head case"


Head scratcher then?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Crap. WLW just crashed.

[Reds Fanatic]

Almost a bunt single for Hernandez. Just rolled foul.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hernandez singles to center.

[HokieRed]

The bullpen is now almost shot right? Another Extra Innings bonanza that this team does not need.

It's almost like Dusty would have been better off bringing in the mop up guys like Jose or Horst then to bring in Nick "The Head Case".

Not sure why he'd go back to Masset anyway, having just used him last night. I guess he was up prior to the Reds getting the runs. Dusty does have a habit of going back to the same guys. But if he doesn't trust them all, then we need different guys.

[reds44]

Pinch run?

[Reds Fanatic]

Leake pinch running for Hernandez.

[HokieRed]

Janish bunting presumably.

[Big Klu]

The bullpen is now almost shot right? Another Extra Innings bonanza that this team does not need.

It's almost like Dusty would have been better off bringing in the mop up guys like Jose or Horst then to bring in Nick "The Head Case".

The Reds still have Cordero, Fisher, and Horst. And if the reports that Volquez is returning to the rotation next week are true, then Reineke is also likely available.

[reds44]

Janish is going yard.

[HokieRed]

The Reds still have Cordero, Fisher, and Horst. And if the reports that Volquez is returning to the rotation next week are true, then Reineke is also likely available.

Not going to need them. We're going to win it right here.

[LvJ]

Heisey can win this.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish fouls out to 3rd. 2 outs.

[reds44]

I just vomited everywhere

[WVRedsFan]

Ah, Janish.

[HokieRed]

Why on earth is Janish not bunting?

[Reds Fanatic]

Cards and Cubs headed to extra innings.

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey flies out to center. Headed to the 10th.

[SirFelixCat]

Janish is going yard.

Didn't quite have the distance.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kemp, Blake and Loney due up in the 10th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cordero in to pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

Kemp strikes out swinging.

[WVRedsFan]

Is everyone's schedule as bad as ours?

[Reds Fanatic]

Blake walks.

[WVRedsFan]

Stubby has speed.

[Reds Fanatic]

Loney flies out to center. Double play as the runner was going and is easily picked off first.

[WVRedsFan]

Speedy Stubby. Nice.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs, Phillips and Votto due up in the 10th.

[Tony Cloninger]

Not sure why he'd go back to Masset anyway, having just used him last night. I guess he was up prior to the Reds getting the runs. Dusty does have a habit of going back to the same guys. But if he doesn't trust them all, then we need different guys.

That is probably what happened ....and what was said about having a let down unless the game is close...is plausible. Still....these guys are there to do the job and I do not think Nick has been overworked of late. Just gets tiring to watch this team look like it is going to roll...finally hit a very good pitcher soundly and then the bullpen wheel falls off?

[Reds Fanatic]

Castro in to play 2nd, Miles moves to 3rd and Guerra in to pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs strikes out swinging on a pitch in the dirt.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips singles to center.

[redsfaninbsg]

So, I just got home from a wedding and evidently the Reds were 5 outs away with a 5 run lead and couldn't hold it? What the hell happened?

[Reds Fanatic]

In short Masset gave up 3 hits to 3 of the weakest hitters in the league, Bray walked a batter and Ondrusek gave up a grand slam to Kemp.
